Briefings

Read through the numbers.

Short articles on where high earners live and what each address keeps. Every figure is computed by the same model as the ranking, and moves when the rules move.

London

London, priced.

A $1M salary in London pays 43% in income tax. Here is what the same salary keeps in the places London's earners look at.

Zero income tax

The zero club.

12 of the 100 places on the board take nothing from a $1M salary. They get there by 2 different roads.

Europe

Europe's best keepers.

Of the 53 European places on the board, the ones that keep the most are small, and most are not in the European Union.

Your position, not the average

This page is the general case. Your income and passports rank all 100 differently.

The engine takes what you earn and what you hold, then orders every address on the board against it.

The Patrician Letter

The rules move. Be told when they do.

Sent when it earns the send, not on a schedule. Never shared, one tap to stop.

Income tax on the published 2026 rules. Social contributions, most deductions and treaties are not modeled. Figures are for a non-US single filer. Wealth tax, an exit and your passports are added when you run the engine on your own numbers. Not advice. Residence rules change often. Verify before acting.
